The Duke of Argyle, quoted l>y I/abbock, vchile
admitting- that monkeys use stones to crack nuts, says:
"Between these rudiments of intellectual perception
and the next step [that of fashioning an instrument
for a particular purpose] there is a gulf in which lies
the whole immeasurable distance between man and
brutes." [Origin of civilization.] This modern idea
that the ability to fashion an "instrument for a particular
purpose" is peculiar to man, is one of the results
of placing man and the ape in the same family.
This mass of scriptural and scientific evidence
creature whom God designed should perform
clearly indicates that the pure-blooded White is the
the mental
labor necessary to subdue the earth; and that the
Negro is the creature whom God designed to perform
the manual labor. The Negro, in common with the
rest of the animals, made his appearance upon the
earth j^rior to the creation of man. With the Negro
and the animals of draught, burthen and food, it was
possible for man to develop
all the resources of the
earth and not personally
till the ground. With the
Negro as
a servant, it would have been easy for man
to have accomplished this great task with only such
physical labor as is inseparable from mental labor.
